Either I knit slow, or the curse is true, because he divorced me before I pieced it together.<br /><br />Bonus epilogue: this winter I was finally "over it" enough to reclaim the yarn for a future project. Went to my LYS and had an unraveling party, complete with champagne!thefirecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252139550073127683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581964935343971731.post-73098062583910706052009-08-18T09:55:07.851-07:002009-08-18T09:55:07.851-07:00Praise - just as you praise the dogs, praise the b...Praise - just as you praise the dogs, praise the boy and he'll keep doing it. Pretty soon, he may be knitting YOU a sweater...hopefully NOT is dirt brown uninspiring crafter's cotton twine, but in that Blue Sky Alpaca that you love!<br /><br />If praise doesn't work, offer a cookie.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301635466561126804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581964935343971731.post-79569176774113448212009-08-17T19:44:19.369-07:002009-08-17T19:44:19.369-07:00HOLEY CRAP!!! wow. that is truly amazing... and 4...HOLEY CRAP!!! wow. that is truly amazing... and 4 hours?!

Sounds like he's hooked. <br /><br />I generally use 3 needle bind off for my sweater shoulders; it's a bit firmer than a kitchener.
